    yeah the meme is stupid, I watch cooking youtube a lot, like a lot lot and I have never heard of Scalloped potatoes, but I have seen some scallop recipes so I would have assumed they are indeed connected.

    this is like calling someone dumb for thinking Stamford Bridge is a bridge and not knowing it’s a football stadium.

    just don’t call people stupid for not knowing things that might be obvious to you (unkess they say shit like vaccines cause autism, but even then try to approach with empathy first)

      Stamford bridge is also a bridge though. And the location of a very important battle in English history. If you’re not a football fan, you might be familiar with the battle but not the stadium (as was my case).

      I think this example is more like if she thought scalloped potatoes involved scallops, but there were actually 2 dishes called scalloped potatoes, one of which does involve scallops
